Last night, an urgent rescue unfolded at Baltimore's Inner Harbor as a vehicle was discovered fully submerged between Piers 4 and 5. The Baltimore City Fire Department (BCFD), along with police and specialized dive teams, swiftly responded to the 700 block of Eastern Avenue after reports of the incident. One individual, found in critical condition by BCFD dive teams, was subsequently transported to a local hospital, according to FOX Baltimore.
The operation saw Fire Rescue Boats 1 and 2 quickly confirm the presence of the vehicle underwater. The teams recovered the victim, who remains unnamed, and no additional persons were discovered upon a secondary search. The submerged vehicle was later extracted from the Inner Harbor waters around 9 p.m., as a tow truck arrived to manage the retrieval.
WMAR-2 News reported that the driver, a woman, was taken to the hospital in a state of critical condition following the rescue. The details surrounding the circumstances that led to the vehicle's submersion are currently limited, and officials have not yet released any information regarding the cause of the incident.
